It demands that the Soviet authorities immediately stop this anti-China farce solely stage-managed by them and compensate for all the losses of the Chinese Embassy caused by the ruffians' sabotaging activities. It points out that this new grave anti-China provocation engineered by the Soviet authorities is a continuation of the armed provocation against China on the Sino-Soviet border which they plotted single-handedly. The Soviet authorities must be held fully responsible for their anti-China crime which has further worsened Sino-Soviet relations.

THE Chinese Embassy in the Soviet Union sent a note to the Soviet Foreign Ministry on March 7, strongly protesting against the anti-China provocation, a despicable incident created by the Soviet revisionist renegade clique on the afternoon of March 7 before the Chinese Embassy.The full text of the note reads as follows:

To: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the U.S.S.R. After creating the grave incident of armed provocation on Chinese territory Chenpao Island, the Soviet authorities went still farther and organized a despicable anti-China demonstration before the Embassy of the People's Republic of China at 13:30 hours on March 7. The Soviet authorities collected a group of ruffians who grossly insulted and abused the great leader of the Chinese people Chairman Mao Tse-tung and the Chinese people, barbarously damaged the buildings of the Chinese Embassy, wrecked its newsphoto display cases and threw iron objects and fired air-guns at embassy personnel, thus seriously hampering the normal functioning of the Embassy and seriously menacing the personal safety of its personnel. The Embassy of the People's Republic of China hereby lodges a strong protest against the new anti-China provocation made by the Soviet authorities before the Chinese Embassy and demands that they immediately stop this anti-China farce solely stage-managed by them and compensate for all the losses of the Chinese Embassy caused by the ruffians' sabotaging activities.It must be pointed out that the above grave new anti-China provocation engineered by the Soviet authorities is a continuation of the armed provocation against China on the Sino-Soviet border which they plotted single-handedly. The Soviet authorities must be held fully responsible for their anti-China crime which has further worsened Sino-Soviet relations.
